PROTEIN????

HI GUYS I AM 7 DAYS POST-OP NOW AND ON A LIQUID/PUREED DIET I WOULD LIKE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I CAN HAVE FOR PROTEIN I AM DOING FINE IT'S JUST HARD SEEING THE WHOLE FAMILY EATING REGULAR FOODS I GUESS IT'S JUST HEAD HUNGER.

Hi Kim, tough stage to be at...if your doctor doesn't want you to have protein shakes try some cottage cheese...some chili with no beans or smash the beans, try some smooth peanut butter. At this stage it is hard to get in the recommended protein so don't stress over it. It should be a goal. When you move to the next step it will be much easier as you will have more choices. Patty
